7 defeats and yet only -7 GD, that is frankly unbelievable. Quite clear where the issue is.
I take your point, but Maher hinted most of his work has been with individuals trying to restore their confidence.However when players don't like or have little confidence in the system and the other players performance in the system they're required to play , that will show and has in increasingly disjointed toothless efforts, going backwards and sideways and lumping it forwards to Cards! Our pressing and overloads virtually gone.
Until the players get a voice to enforce a change. I fear the same situation every game now.
Maybe fans screaming abuse and bile at the players and management during the match and after the final whistle doesn’t have a positive impact on performance?

That's the way KM played and it shows that he has brought it to is team's tactics.However when players don't like or have little confidence in the system and the other players performance in the system they're required to play , that will show and has in increasingly disjointed toothless efforts, going backwards and sideways and lumping it forwards to Cards!

He's taken the blame there because that's the kind of bloke he is, but even if I didnt know it, that interview would tell me that "safe and sideways" is not how he wants them to play, and is not how he coaches and sets them up to play.
I see what you're saying but I don't think that's a good analogy. A bit too simplistic, unless you have someone tasked with stopping you from making the bacon and eggs and it's done in front of thousands of paying spectators!If that's the case something is seriously wrong, that's the same as any boss saying "cook bacon and eggs" and the employee produces a cheese sandwich
We really are in trouble if the players go on to the pitch and play a completely different way to what they have been told and practiced in training all week
Bloody hell. Are we mathematically safe from relegation?
I get your point about the make-up of central midfield, but we don't play with a negative back 5.There are a few players I can't understand why they get a game week in week out. If you're going to persist with a negative 5 at the back at least have two positive centre mids. Miley does the donkey work there is no need for Taylor, who in all honesty has done nothing all season. Our season is over, play Benton in there, he is keen, offers something different - same with sandat, mobile and I think would be good foil for Cards
It doesn't necessarily mean that. I don't think they are willfully doing their own thing at all. From what I know, there are no egos in that camp. Why is it so hard to believe that they are psychologically ****ted and some may have mentally checked out of this season, perhaps even the club? Could you blame them?That being the case it means the players are doing their own thing and his coaching and leadership accounts for nothing, so one or the other has to go.
Actually I’m not sure we are if we loose all are remaining games and Yeovil and Gateshead win all theirs. Massive long shot but you never know in this strange league.
The only certainty right now is that we stand a very good chance of not winning again this season.
Exactly this, and if that's the case they are doing there own thing then and he has lost the dressing room as they are clearly not listening to instructions which isn't a good thingThat being the case it means the players are doing their own thing and his coaching and leadership accounts for nothing, so one or the other has to go.
Looks like chairman Ron & major Tom are waiting for the phone to ring ,
